From their humble beginnings in the jungles of Mesoamerica to the rise of their great city-states, the Maya civilization flourished for over two thousand years. They developed a sophisticated writing system, a complex calendar, and a remarkable understanding of mathematics and astronomy. They built magnificent temples and pyramids, created stunning works of art, and left behind a rich legacy of cultural traditions.
